17 (pry-mah fay-shah) adj. Latin for "at first look," or "on its face. What evidence before trial is sufficient to prove the case (here for negligence) unless there is substantial contradictory evidence presented at trial. Citation: Law.com, 17
18 Definition: A failure to behave with the level of care that someone of ordinary prudence would have exercised under the same circumstances. The behavior usually consists of actions, but can also consist of omissions when there is some duty to act (e.g., a duty to help victims of one's previous conduct). Citations: Cornell University Law School, 18
19 Overview: Primary factors to consider in ascertaining whether the person's conduct lacks reasonable care are the foreseeable likelihood that the person's conduct will result in harm, the foreseeable severity of any harm that may ensue, and the burden of precautions to eliminate or reduce the risk of harm. See Restatement (Third) of Torts: Liability for Physical Harm 3 (P.F.D. No. 1, 2005). Negligent conduct may consist of either an act, or an omission to act when there is a duty to do so. See Restatement (Second) of Torts 282 (1965). Citations: Cornell University Law School, 19
20 Five elements are required to establish a prima facie case of negligence: 1. the existence of a legal duty to exercise reasonable care; 2. a failure to exercise reasonable care; 3. cause in fact of physical harm by the negligent conduct; 4. physical harm in the form of actual damages; and 5. proximate cause, a showing that the harm is within the scope of liability. Citations: Cornell University Law School, 20
21 Reasonable Care: the degree of caution and concern for the safety of himself/herself and others an ordinarily prudent and rational person would use in the circumstances. This is a subjective test of determining if a person is negligent, meaning he/she did not exercise reasonable care. Citation: Law.com, Proximate Cause: happening which results in an event, particularly injury due to negligence or an intentional wrongful act.... Sometimes there is an intervening cause which comes between the original negligence of the defendant and the injured plaintiff, which will either reduce the amount of responsibility or, if this intervening cause is the substantial reason for the injury, then the defendant will not be liable at all. Citation: Law.com, 21
22 Relevant facts? Issue? Rule (Prima Facie Case for negligence) Analysis: Apply the Rule Did she use reasonable care? Was she the proximate cause of his injuries? Conclusion? 22
